To THE SAINTS.

The offer of the TIMES TO the re-
formers, or saints, in the matter
of leasing them a column during
the campaign, is still open. To be
sure the TINES trans with the SIM
ners, but that don't make any diff
ference. 1t is always willing to
give the other "fellers" a show and
it would make mighty interesting
paper, to have both sides repre-
scented.
This is a cheap way for the
saints to get a hearing. 1t is about
the only way, in fact, for them to
get before the sinners the merits
of their side of the case, and as
they are supposed TO have a good
case, this Is an opportunity to get in
their work. Besides, it is cheap.
They will find, before the cam.
paign is over, that it would be
money in their pocket't to accept ;
liberal offer like this.
In times gone by, the sinner:
would have jumped at 4 chanc,
like this, but the saints would
not give it to them. With a liber
ality not to be expected, the TINE
offers the saints Il. whole column
every week, or even more space
if they want it, in which to pre-
sent their case. And they vii
siezc the opportunity at once

and close the bargain before it TO

INSURE YOUR LIFE.

1t hardly admits of a question,
that every married man should
have his life insured. The great
cost of obtaining a policy has been
great drawback, in the past, but
the Security has placed insur-
ancc within reach of every one.
The mere fact that the old style
insurance companies have accumu-
lated immense sums is plain evil
dece that they have been charging
more than the risk is worth. The
Security presents perfectly plain
proposition. 1t is not obscured
by an array of figures, and pros.
pective dividend. 1t simply in.
sures your life at price common.
surate with the risk. If you CON
template insurance, it will pay
you to investigate the Security
plan. See their advertisement in
another column and write to the
agent.

McRNERY vs.. NICHOLS.

The Guvcrnorshlp matter a?-
resrs 70 have settled down IL Il
contest between McEnery nd
Nichols. The bugaboo of 2.
rule and corruption generally was
found to work in disjointed sort
of way and has been practically
abandoned, as an issue. Indeed,
it could. hardly work well with
such ringstcrs as the big four ar
IDENTIFY supporting Nichols, ana
the saints had to tune up some
other string. The personal char
acter of Gen. Nichols Is now
the strong card, and as the sinners
do not wage Il personal character
warfare. Gen. Nichols purcncsS
of character can be played for all
it is worth. 1t might be mildly
suggested that Gov. McEncry's
purity has not been generally
questioned. He has been charG-
ed by some over rabid saints with
being corrupt, but their following
was small, and their statements
were not largely entertained, es-
pccially as the charges were made
in a general and promiscuous kind
of way and lacked that specificness
necessary to give weight. So far,
the campaign is very mild. How
! long it will remain SO is unknown.
The saints will doubtless lose their
temper before long, and warm
things up. Wait and see.
